The device automatedly extracts, concentrates and amplifies SARS-CoV-2 RNA from unprocessed saliva, and integrates the Cas12a-based enzymatic detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA via isothermal nucleic acid ...

The determination in 1953 of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), with its two entwined helices and paired organic bases, was a tour de force in X-ray crystallography. But more ...

To add to existing CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection protocols, a team of researchers recently established a new SARS-CoV-2 detection protocol based on their previously reported platform ...

The latest issue of Science features a paper 1 on synthetic nucleic acids, completely new molecules capable of information storage just like DNA and RNA, dubbed xeno-nucleic acids, or XNAs.

When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living things. The compounds in these acids could inhibit ...

Urinary cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a valuable source of nucleic acids for developing non-invasive tests. For example, stabilized cfDNA is amenable to quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and ...

Peptide nucleic acids progress for gene editing and antisense drugs These lab-made molecules can bind to genes more strongly than DNA and RNA do, making them promising drug candidates and genetic ...
